NYTOP - Is this a good brand? (4 Viewers)

Great point, they sure look great though.

I saw these on a Land Cruiser - from Westcott Designs - like these a bit better. The install looks a little scary - but they have a video guide:

I did watch the install video for those as well, quite detailed and seems like a ton of work for some ditch lights. And with Westcott you're only able to run that specific pod model.

I hear ya. I was looking at these since I would not have to drill into the plastic trim by the windshield

I have their rear tow hook. But I was shocked to find out when a member posted on a gx fb group the Cf fenders are made in china. Wonder if the stuff is chinese made

I'm sure it all is - so much of these parts even come in as rough outs that the mfrs do final work on and voila its American...

LOL....their $1999 carbon fiber fender flares are made in China?

With a little digging, you can probably find them on Alibaba for $9.99.

edited to reflect the actual absurd price of the carbon fiber kit at $1999, not $1399

They are legit.

Maybe it's just me. But trying to understand the rationale for putting carbon fiber fender flares on a vehicle that if you take off road are going to potentially get trashed. Painted plastic seems like a better idea...

I would love to have their plain black plastic fender flares for a little extra coverage over my bigger tires, but I'm not paying $1399!!! I'd pay $250.

My life is a theme park of stupid things - so tough to criticize. If some wants them they can have at it - at least the NYTOP version will be premier quality.

I reached out to this company to look into making a set for the GX550. I asked for the flare to go further down toward the door and mudflap. see what I mean here.

LC250 Wide-Body Fender Flares

Running wider wheels/tyres or lower ET? The tread can poke past the arch and chuck mud/road grime down the doors and rear bumper. I wanted something OEM-y that adds coverage without drilling, tbh. I’m on two-piece wide flares: +47 mm front and +49 mm rear per side. When I bought, there were...

I have posted here about the rock sliders and hybrid bumper and other stuff. Really like them. Packaging for shipping is best I’ve ever experienced too.

How long did it take to install the hybrid front bumper? Can it be done w/o a lift or jacking up the front end? I hate to pay a shop $190 per hour if it’s something I can do myself. Thanks!

I held off buying the hybrid bumper after many owners posted the fit issues - where the bumper was off when comparing the left to right sides and the gaps to the trim. Those are on the site and perhaps this thread even.

I’ve bought the trailer hitch cover and front control arm covers and am very happy - but the pictures have me pause.

Thanks! Hopefully someone else can chime in before I drop several hundred dollars in labor costs.

I think you can install yourself - know many have on this site. Do you have to remove the bumper cover to install?

You can definitely install it yourself. It takes a couple of hours if everything fits correctly. Mine didn't so it took a lot longer to enlarge holes and grind things down. After all that it still didn't fit properly so I did the best I could and left it at that.

Ordered a Dissent front bumper and will get rid of the NYTOP when the former arrives. I didn't pay full price which was the only saving grace.

It took me a few hours. I think I may have driven it up a small ramp to give me a bit more room (with jack stands underneath for extra protection). I'm pretty mechanically inclined in general, but not specifically with respect to cars, but it worked out well. There is some fiddling to do, and I have a suggestion about how to remove the existing bottom plastic bumper that is much easier than their instructions. If you go down that path, PM me and we can talk.
